⚠️ The trap
'Alzare' = to raise or lift, not to alter/change. 'Alzarsi' = to get up (from bed or a chair). 'Alzare la voce' = to raise one's voice. 'Alzare i prezzi' = to raise prices. Nothing to do with altering/modifying.
To say "to change, to modify" in Italian:
modificare, cambiare (for to alter/change)
"alzare" in English means:
to raise, to lift up, to increase
Example
"Puoi alzare il volume, per favore?"
"Can you turn up the volume, please?"
